PROUDLY CANADIAN SINCE 1998

Offering massive interior space that’s truly unmatched for its weight class, Aurora™ is a worthy investment for the adventurer that loves a roomy shelter when car camping and backpacking. Updated with premium hardware and features, this tent now also measures up to NEMO’s high sustainability standards with a PFAS-, FRC-free fabric suite and bluesign® approved recycled floor.
Aurora’s vertical sidewalls and massive doors allow for comfortable side-by-side seating and the lightweight aluminum pole set includes a custom forged hub, part of NEMO’s new Elements™ hardware collection. Interior gear pockets keep personal items organized and at hand, while overhead Nightlight Pockets™ diffuse headlamp light to cast a warm glow at night.
Packed in a Divvy Cube™ stuff sack, Aurora can be more efficiently stowed in a backpack, especially when the poles are removed to share the weight with a friend. A complementary tent footprint is included to help extend the lifespan of the tent, protecting it from rough terrain and abrasion.

Haven't taken it out much yet but I'm impressed by the roomy interior and thoughtful design. Easy to set up. Bonus that it comes with a footprint!
This is the first tent I've bought in 15 years and boy have things changed... actually they probably only changed because NEMO is amazing. This tent is so light strong packs up small and when setup it is remarkably roomy. I had myself and a dog who likes to sleep perpendicular to me in here and I couldn't have been more comfortable. 10/10 this is the best tent I've ever slept in. Leaving the fly off so I could watch the stars at night after turning off the light in the cool little light pocket: priceless.
I recently picked up this 3-person tent. It is surprisingly spacious and reasonably lightweight for its size. Thanks to the vertical walls the interior doesn't feel cramped at all and the peak height allows you to sit up comfortably. My partner and I shared it and there was more than enough room for both of us and our bpacks inside. A major plus compared to similar designs is that both vestibules are the same size (compared to the Ferrino Pumori 2p).While the ventilation is optimal it might be a bit too drafty for a standard 3-season rating. Shoulder seasons spring/autumn can be freezing in Canada and the high winds of Patagonia might push its limits temperature wise although structure looks solid. Color wise it’s not olive mine is grey which is even better. It works with the MSR Hubba Hubba vestibule which is a huge surprise. I really hope NEMO designs their own gear shed for this model I’d definitely buy it for longer trips. ***I love the footprint is included***A few upgrades I'd like to see a mesh on the outer windows more internal storage pockets and dual zippers on the fly. Even though it lacks the ripstop fabric that I am used to the build quality feels premium. I'll be keeping an eye on its long-term durability during my next trips
I used the tent for one kayak camping trip and all went well. Typically I’d use an ultralight tent but thought I’d get try the Aurora for a little more space and durability. I was concerned about the reviews that stated that gnats could get through the mesh. Visually the mesh does look like it has larger openings than usual but we had no problems with any insects getting through the mesh. I’m not sure how the steeper higher walls will do in a storm but there seems to be plenty of places to tie off the rainfly so I’m hopeful. Tent has several internal storage pockets and seems well constructed. The rainfly is heavier than the (other brand ultralight) tent that I typically use which is fine because this Aurora is not advertised as ultralight but otherwise the materials seem pretty consistent with an UL. It’d be pretty cool if Nemo had a lighter weight rainfly that folks could buy as an optional accessory. Maybe that way this tent could more easily transition between car or boat camping and backpacking?
I bought this tent a few weeks back and finally took it out on a backpacking trip with some friends.The tent is great but it came with a small hole on one of the gear vestibules and I’m not sure if the design has been updated since they released the setup video for the tent but we had no metal tabs to hook the rainfly up and out of the way.The zipper issue that everyone had a problem with seems to be fixed with double zippers now only problem is still the no-seeums being able to fit through.Have not gotten a response from the support team about a new rainfly yet either.However I love Nemo’s equipment and team so I assume that will be resolved shortly.Will update this review again after they get back to me because I really only need a new rainfly.
